Our story
A Warm Welcome, Every Time
Belove is a mother-and-daughter shop — Fanny and Luisa Castillo. Luisa built the concept as her master's project at Barry University, and the family's welcome is the recipe everything else follows.
Guests describe it the same way: greeted "as if we were at her home," offered a sample, known by name — and, once, the whole table's names written in chocolate on their desserts.
"Love is the only thing that increases, every time it's shared."
"Let your light shine"
"Be a seeker of everyday magic"
The hand-painted phrases on our tables are in Luisa's own hand.
